Hello,
I am going to be attending a target shortly, and am excited to join some sports clubs and the trading society. I’m not entirely sure if IB is my thing, and I won’t have the time to be apart of the finance and investing club. I still, however, want to leave the option open if available.
Is being part of the club necessary so to speak to get an analyst role?

No not at all, this is a negligible value add especially at a target. Internships are much more important
Thanks for the response.
I was thinking it may be helpful for getting an internship, as it ‘shows interest’.
Is this true?
Not a needle mover. the clubs vary so much in time commitment and scope most people don't ascribe much value to them. It's different at a non-target where you need all the help you can get and often need to be in 1 specific club that has huge alum recruiting. target schools have much wider recruiting.
Also as a freshman when you're looking for internships the bar isn't that high to have stuff on your resume... and then once you have that first internship that is much more valuable than a random club
Depends on how target we speaking. HYP doesnt matter whatsover. Cornell maybe need to get into the target clubs

Dont think it matters. Do whatever you want king
Not really, people in undergrad vastly overinflate the value of these clubs IMO, especially if ur already at a target. Usually they're run by pretentious dicks who think managing a 30k book all long blue chip stocks makes them the next Viking.
